> Error parsing Syslog rfc 3164 messages with null values
> -------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLUME-1277
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-1277
> Project: Flume
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Sinks+Sources
> Affects Versions: v1.1.0, v1.2.0
> Reporter: Brent Halsey
> Priority: Minor
>
> The SyslogUtils class doesn't properly parse rfc 3164 style messages
> containing a null (hyphen) value. e.g.,
> <10>Apr 1 13:14:04 ubuntu-11.cloudera.com - rest_of_message
> It tries to parse it as a 5424 style message, skips over the date
> information, and interprets the first hyphen as a null timestamp. Part of
> the problem is the use of a Scanner and regex. This skips over a properly
> formatted 3164 style message until it finds anything that matches the 5424
> regex, including a hyphen.
